| Obverse description | The obverse features a reproduction of the central scene from Salvador Dalí's painting 'Autorretrato con l'Humanité' (1923), in which the artist depicts himself dressed as a worker in a provocative, confrontational pose reflecting his admiration for the revolutionary ideas of his era. The composition is rendered in high relief against a stippled field, faithful to the original artwork's bold figurative style. The legend 'ESPAÑA' appears in the upper field, accompanied by the artist's name 'DALÍ' and the date '2009'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a faithful reproduction of Dalí's work 'Automatic Start of a Gala Portrait' (1932), in which the artist explores the successive compositional stages of an image, reflecting his Surrealist experimentation with perception and form. The portrait of Gala is rendered in layered, fragmented planes characteristic of Dalí's early Surrealist period. The legend 'PINTORES ESPAÑOLES' arcs across the field, accompanied by the mint mark 'M' and the face value inscription '10 EURO'. |
